Electra glide classic or Ultra Classic?

What is the difference between these two bikes? Can't decide which one to get. I don't need the rear speakers because I will be riding solo! Also, have been hearing a lot about the ultra classic getting really hot...any comments?

Re: Electra glide classic or Ultra Classic?

If you're not going to do any major touring I would stick with the Classic. Me and the old lady have taken off for a long weekend and taken everything we've needed on just the Classic (tent, chairs, clothes) You get a radio and tour pack, just no lowers. I like the fact that the tour-pak (with quick disconnect) comes off easy for around town or bar hopping. Mine is a '98 and I think I've used the tour-pak a dozen times, but it's nice to have when you need it! The Classic comes with more chrome (engine package) and also has saddle bag guards. Good luck, either machine in a beaut!
